Birkenhead Scout Archery Have you always wanted to let your section try archery but never had the opportunity? Well now’s your chance! Birkenhead District is pleased to announce that we are introducing monthly archery sessions next year. Archery nights will take place at the Longbow Centre, Price Street Business Centre, Price Street, Birkenhead. The nights will be led by our team of archery permit holders, who will run the night for you, although leaders do need to be on site with their sections. There will be two sessions per evening – 6.30pm until 8.00pm and then 8.00pm until 9.30pm. The cost of each hour and a half session will be £50, to cover the hire of the Centre. So, for example, if you bring 20 young people then it will cost them £2.50 each which is amazing value. For that they will get a full safety briefing and then several goes each. If you bring 8 young people the cost will be higher at £6.25 each but they would be able to shoot almost non-stop after the safety briefing. Initially the sessions will be held on the following dates: Friday 13th January Friday 10th February Friday 10th March Friday 14th April Friday 12th May Friday 9th June Friday 14th August
To book a session please email Jane, ljanerichards@aol.com, giving the date and time you want to book, the section and approximately how many you will be bringing.
